can't receive email

[komara69]

Hello,

I'm host email server at home (exchange server 2003). I know I can't send email due to the fact that I have Cable internet and my IPS, Adelphia, will not give out reverse DNS. But for some reason I can not receive email. How can i configure exchange server to receive email? Also, how can i configure the exchange server to send email via smtp, i.e smtp.adelphia.net?

You can send mail more easily the you could receive it. Use your ISP as smart host (see help). As smart host, you configure it the same way as if you would from outlook.
To receive, you either need an MX record (fixed IP or a dynsdns kind of service), or use a POP3 retriever.
